Secondary: Useful Microbes
Produced by the Health Protection Agency, this e-Bug resource contains teacher guidance, stimulus materials and student activity suggestions. It looks at useful microbes by examining the various ways and means we can utilise them for our benefit.
Through a yoghurt-making activity, students observe at first hand how microbes can be put to good use in the food industry.
An extension activity encourages students to question their experiments by preparing a slide and examining a yoghurt culture under a microscope to observe the presence of bacteria for themselves.
HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment.
Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date.
Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work.
Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
